Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. (OC/Reader x Aizawa)

TW: DEPICTIONS OF SELF-HARM, SELF-DEPRECATING THOUGHTS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

Y/N had dreaded coming in Monday. After the events of Friday, surely hell would rain down upon Aizawa for the assault of All Might.

"L/N! Glad you could make time to meet with me." She smiled, trying to remain professional, knowing what was coming. Nezu had poured her some tea, and was now sitting at his desk.

"I've just spoken to Aizawa, but I thought you should know All Might does not intend to press charges against him." Her eyes widened.

"After explaining to All Might how his lack of commitment affected you and the students, he decided against legal action. Especially after I suggested to him that if he wishes to stay at UA, then he should leave well enough alone!" He beamed. Y/N wondered why on earth he even wanted to stay.

"But why does he even want to stay here? Doesn't he make enough money already?" She voiced her thoughts.

"He would like to keep an eye on Midoriya and his training." She scoffed heavily at this.

"Okay, about that-"

"I know what it looks like. L/N, I have eyes everywhere. I know personally the situation between All Might and Midoriya, and I can assure you nothing unsavoury is going on." She huffed at his interruption.

"Are you sure? Because I don't want something like this to go unchecked just because it's All Might." He seemed to find this funny.

"I am certain of it. L/N, it's things like this that make you an excellent teacher." She raised a brow.

"The students have improved immensely under your tutelage. However, the issue is, is that you cannot be the public face of Heroics at UA. I fully understand why you are keeping your past private, however it means that you cannot give us the public side of Heroics. All Might is no longer going to be teaching heroics, and instead he will be occasionally dropping in to check on the students' progress. This way, he will remain the poster boy of UA, whilst you are doing the important work. However, when we have prospective students and parents visit, we will explain how you teach Heroics, and your excellent quality of teaching." Y/N blinked slowly. Was Nezu seriously giving her more work?

"Of course, this will come with a considerable pay rise for you. In fact, I have ensured that you will be earning much more than All Might was, much to the displeasure of the school board. And to give you more time, you're officially relieved of your homeroom duties after this morning's homeroom! However, you are obviously more than welcome to go to 1-A's homeroom to discuss anything you need to with Aizawa or the students."

Y/N didn't quite know how to feel. She hated sharing homeroom with Aizawa at first. But now a couple months down the line, she was enjoying seeing him. Is he going to have no reason to talk to her anymore? Is he going to leave her?

"Okay. I'll do my best to live up to your expectations, Nezu." She left the room, that all too familiar heavy feeling settling in her chest, already overwhelmed. Getting rid of homeroom just wasn't going to give her enough time.

"I don't have any announcements for homeroom today, but I believe Miss L/N has one." He smiled, gesturing for her to address the class. She looked at the happy faces around the room, getting a painful bitter-sweet feeling.

"This is my last homeroom with you guys." The students' faces turned upset, breaking out into hushed gasps and whispers.

"It's been a pleasure being your homeroom teacher, but All Might is no longer teaching Heroics, so I am teaching it alone. He will still drop into lessons to provide advice and teach here and there, but for all intents and purposes, I am the only Heroics teacher at UA. Because of this, I need more free time to mark work and prepare for lessons, so I cannot be your homeroom teacher. But remember, I am still your Heroics teacher, so this isn't goodbye." She finished her speech with a grin, as the bell went. The students packed up their things, thanking Y/N and making their way to first period.
